At Profile Laser, we specialize in onychoplasty, which addresses the common problem of ingrown toenails, a condition that causes discomfort and pain and limits daily activities for many individuals.
It most commonly appears on the big toe and is more frequent in adolescents and young adults, although it can occur at any age.
Possible causes include trauma that forces the corners of the nail to grow into the skin, improper nail care, genetic predisposition, or unsuitable footwear, among others.
Treatment of ingrown toenails:
The treatment involves the surgical removal of part of the affected nail down to the nail matrix, as well as the inflamed adjacent section of skin, under local anesthesia at the clinic.
